S25 Ultra overheating and poor battery life

[S-Pen-Diehard]

I had this issue on my S24 Ultra in late summer, so I decided to trade it in for the S25 Ultra and it's happening straight out of the box. The phone gets really warm and the battery starts dropping at like... 1% every minute or two. Restarting the phone stops it for a little while but then it keeps doing it. I've included the battery graph, and you can see it just randomly curve down. Does anyone know what could be causing this? My Pixel 8 gets better battery life at this point!

That is really bad, I also have the QHD+ for display on and screen saver off, I've never used the higher display so I was really surprised that 9 hours of screen on time. I'm coming from an S23 ultra and the highest I've gotten for screen on time was about 7.
One thing I do, do is I do not have the screen brightness up very high at all. Minimum cuz I don't like a bright screen it hurts my eyes. With adaptive brightness turned off.
I hope that it is just a bug in that it will get fixed in an update for you. We'll see if this was just a fluke, and I'll let you know what I get for with this full battery for on screen time. Have a great day!😊

I'm having very bad battery life too. It's like half the battery life of the S24 Ultra

It heard a 15% overnight drop. This is just terrible

I imagine it's a bug that'll get patched out soon. From what I can tell, apps are not winding down in the background and it's causing excessive drain.
